Hi All -- This discussion about travel between Deer Ck and Kanab has me distressed for several reasons. This is off-trail hiking, and actually easy off-trail...
I'll be walking this stretch on Thursday and in the general area that whole week. If anyone sees a 50ish guy wearing an orange cap accompanied by two 30ish...
More detailed info that I have heard about Horn Ck is that the radiation source that does exist there is 'alpha'. Alpha is not dangerous radiation as long as...
Just finished the RA loop yesterday and there was water in the upper Supai of RA drainage with pools pretty full. Toltec and Garnet were salty as usual. Water...

I am talking about the beach-walk section. I simply wasn't walking on the beaten path, rock-hopping instead, although the beaten path was mere yards away, no...
I've been waiting for someone to post this kind of a reply on the Deer to Kanab hike debate. I agree with Doug completely. This is a straightforward...
Andy - On our Hermit/BA Loop we took an extra gallon at Monument and dry camped at Horn. We didn't see any water at Horn (it was October a couple of years...

Hi Bob I'm in the Smokies almost every weekend doing catchup on completion of GSMNP trail system after 1/2 year down due to knee surgery. Right now we may be...
All right. Since I posted the original message, I've come to believe the trail along the river is nothing extreme, and can be done easily with a layover at...
Kurt, Welcome to the group -- I have also found lots of useful information here. I am curious as to how and when you were able to get reservations at Phantom...
... Sowats would be fine, but Kwagunt would be a bit shorter - both because you reach it earlier (than Sowats) when coming up Jumpup from Kanab, and because ...
... Hi Alan. Next time you call Xanterra, ask for the Hiker Dorms at PR. And call often, perhapes daily if you are really want to snag a cancellation....

John - I'm with you - hard to be sure of sources or motives in this 'Information Age'. This guy worshipped Woodward and Bernstein - bet he started going over...
